Suggested projects and papers
If you don't have a subject on your own, you can reserve a topic that was
suggested by a visiting lecturer or a TAUCHI researcher. The subjects are

Ways of Passing the Course
-
The course can be taken in a short (3 cu) or long (5 cu) format.
-
Short course consists of one unit, and long format of two units.
-
One unit can be either a programming project or a written paper.
-
In addition, active participation in the lectures and the seminar
is required.
The lectures are complemented with tasks that are required from all the
active participants. Each task is due on the next lecture. The tasks are given
on lectures and on the web. One task may be omitted, if participation is not
possible in all the lectures. Email return is permitted, when it is done
in time, but is not required when participating in the lectures.
Details of the different units:
-
Programming projects can be any kind of new interaction techniques implemented
in any environment. A five-page description of the project is also prepared
to be included as a short paper in the course publication. The description
is written in English. A project group may consist of one to three persons.
-
Written papers are comprehensive surveys of interaction technologies, specific interaction techniques, or other subjects directly related to interaction
techniques. These long papers have a length of 12 to 20 pages, and are
included in the course publication. The papers are written in English.
More detailed instructions for the programming projects and written papers
will be published later. The programming projects and papers may make use of any potential interaction techniques, devices and modalities.
Goals
The course introduces selected topics on new and novel interaction techniques. The
topics may include, but are not limited to, the following: multimodal human-computer
interaction, speech interaction, eye tracking, machine vision, and ubiquitous
computing.
Level
Last years of undergraduate studies, or graduate studies.
Principles of Evaluation
There is no written examination in this course. The evaluation is based
on the papers and programming projects.
Prerequisities
Human-Computer Interaction (Ihmisen ja tietokoneen vuorovaikutus)
Bibliography
The bibliography is distributed during the course and consists of lecture
notes and selected research papers.
Additional reading
Depends on the programming project and paper topic. Literature search is
a part of the course requirements.
